A Rare Nathaniel Currier Handwritten And Signed Receipt To A Famous American Architect That Currier Produced Lithographs For

NATHANIEL CURRIER (1813-1888). Currier was a famous American lithographer who, in partnership with James Ives, created one of the most famous artistic companies in American history.ANS. 1pg. 7 x 2. October 24, 1838. New York. A rare autograph document signed Nathl Currier on a small slip of paper: Received New York Oct. 24th 1838 from A.J. Davis Esq Thirty Dollars on a/c Nathl Currier. I could locate no sales records for a Currier manuscript in Rarebookhub.com or American Book Prices Current (same for James Ives). Alexander J. Davis (1803-1892) was a prominent American architect who specialized in Gothic Revival, and designed Jay Goulds estate Lyndhurst. In 1837, Jackson published his book Rural Residences with lithographs by Nathaniel Currier; perhaps this receipt was paying for Curriers art in the book or other work Currier did for Davis. The document has dark ink and a thin mounting remnant to the top margin of the verso.
